Man apparently beaten by Bridgeport police files $1 million lawsuit

BRIDGEPORT -- A man seen on a video posted on YouTube being beaten by three Bridgeport police officers has filed a $1 million lawsuit, while NAACP leaders are calling on police officials to arrest and fire the officers.

The video shows officers Joseph Lawlor, Elson Morales and Clive Higgins kicking and stomping Lopez-Soto in 2011 after he apparently was shot with stun gun after a car chase. The officers are on paid administrative duty pending an investigation.

State NAACP chapter President Scot Esdaile says the officers should be arrested and fired.
